My engine configuration thoughts keep shifting. 20 Years ago when I bought my Moke in Australia, I also bought a couple sets of Hypertec 73mm Pistons and rings. These have been sitting and waiting for an ideal engine to go into. Now I'm thinking it's time to use them. I have a few 1275's around of questionable condition - in other words, I've never heard them run, and they have been sitting for the last 20+ years doing nothing. Although I don't like the idea of going that large on the first bore job, how many more years am I going to let these pistons and engines sit on the shelf?
So, 73mm would put me at 1360 I believe. 1360, Stage 3 MiniSport (UK) head, HS6 1.75 Carb, K&N Cone filter, and likely an RC40 exhaust.
Comments or suggestions? I already have the pistons, head, carb and filter. I haven't settled on a CAM yet either. I should be done my metal work on the shell in the next couple of weeks, so getting the needed parts together for the engine is coming fast.
